Before we dive into the details, here is a summary of using RootsMagic Essentials to back up your Ancestry tree. So how did RootsMagic measure up? This article is a step-by-step guide and an in-depth review. To get a true measure of the quality of the backup, I uploaded the RootsMagic tree into a new Ancestry copy and compared both trees side-by-side. I also added Ancestry’s special features: comments, TreeTags, and inline stories. I tested RootsMagic Essentials by downloading a demo Ancestry tree that included records, photos, PDFs, and Word documents.
